Oscar Piastri: Crash and DNF at Baku City Circuit
Piastri crashed and finished 20th in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Baku City Circuit on Sunday afternoon.
Analysis:
The McLaren star would have an incredibly tough day on the streets of Azerbaijan. Piastri would appear to jump the start when the lights out occurred but then he'd seemingly stall for a few moments. The field behind him would rocket past and Piastri would drop to P20 from his starting spot of ninth on the grid. He would appear to lock up in turn 5 and then crash hard into the barriers bringing out the safety car on the opening lap. Piastri's day would be finished with an early retirement and P20 finish.
